Condo, 1 Bedroom + Bunk area, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Relax on our balcony and enjoy the direct view of the beach that Southern Living Magazine voted #1 in the United States! Located on the 18th floor, watch the dolphins play in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunsets with the most vivid colors are especially memorable.
This condo has a recently updated kitchen with 18' travertine-like tile, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, queen sleeper sofa, and much more. We have not stopped there though - we are continuing to make upgrades and improvements to make your stay more pleasurable. There are five other condos available, four on the same floor and one that is one floor below if you have friends or family that would like to join you on your vacation.
This condo has a keyless entry - no key to pick up or send back and forth, no key to worry about losing at the beach. Less hassle and saves time.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed for your comfort as well as a private bath. Two bunk beds in the hall, a new queen-size, top grain leather sleeper sofa and an additional full bathroom allow up to six people to sleep comfortably.
Location is always key and Pelican Beach Resort is very conveniently located. The condo is right across the street from the Big Kahuna's water park, very close to shopping and numerous great restaurants as well as many other resort activities. This newly remodeled condo is a great value right in the heart of Destin!
HURRICANES: Though I hate to mention it… If the area is under a Hurricane Warning issued by the National Weather Service, I will refund all of your money if you have not arrived yet or prorate the days that you are forced out. Believe me, my fingers are already crossed.

First time to destin and it was amazing..greg and missy was super with all my question

Phenomenal place to get away with great hosts.

Condo had everything we needed, including a breathtaking view! Saw dolphins from the balcony. The condo was clean and in excellent condition. Tiki Bar and Cafe were convenient. Good location. Check in/out was easy. Owners were responsive. We will be back!
8.0
Very nice place, great location, easy access. My stay was short but we were able to experience both the beach and pool, shopping as well as Fudpuckers and Ruby Slippers. The view of the ocean during sunrise was amazing. The only problem I had was a little bit of sand in the master bed although the sheets were fresh. I would stay here again.
10.0
My children and I had a great time and had everything we needed for our quick beach trip. The condo was clean and the view was perfect! I was able to reach out with questions which were promptly answered by the host each time. The location is convenient and a very short deive to henderson beach state park, walmart, and surf shops. We will definitely be back!
10.0
The property was as described, and the condo was wonderful. If we were to comment on one thing it is that the bedroom was located at the back of the condo, and it is near the elevators. This allowed us to hear all of those coming and going throughout the night and early mornings. Other than that, it was perfect!

Views were breathtaking, location was great and the people in the complex were nice

Greg and Missy where very responsive and have a great place. The resort has plenty of room to spread out. Plenty of marine life to see from the balcony. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

The view was immaculate and the sound of the waves lulled us. We enjoyed our visit very much.
We found door dash to be helpful and convenient.
Don’t forget shampoo & conditioner and perhaps extra dishwasher pods when you pack.
10.0
Really nice place and area and close to eating & shopping places. Beautiful views of the beach and gulf!

Wonderful condo with everything we needed. Nice decor and very comfortable. Fantastic views. Property had wonderful amenities, will definitely come back
8.0
I can't say enough about the condo itself. It was very clean, great views, beautiful countertops. The only negative is that the hot water for the shower runs out quick so doing multiple showers has to be done swiftly. A new canopener is needed. The dishes were great, but the pots and pans probably need a good scrub or need to be replaced. The property overall had a few negatives. The jets in both hot tubs didn't seem to work properly. Half did, half didn't. At least two different washing machines on two different floors weren't working. I went to a different floor to wash my clothes, that how I knew the one on another floor also didn't work. The elevator near the parking garage was out of order. Many of the elevator lights didn't light up on the elevators that were working. The drinks at the tiki bar were very weak. The game room had an out of order sign on at least one game as well. The pool in front of the condo closes at dusk, so keep that in mind. You can go to the pool on the side of the building after it closes, so you or the kids can still have a fun time. Overall, the total property was great, but there were just a few things that need to be fixed.
10.0
Great apartment with everything I needed for a relaxing stay! Kitchen was well stocked and I was able to make all my meals with ease. The view is second to none and the peace of being on the 18th floor away from noise of pool was fantastic! Quick few steps to the fabulous white sand, pool bar was a great option and the reception at checkin even though it wasn’t necessary was refreshing!
10.0
Great location.
8.0
The condo was cool but was not comfortable in the seating area and the face towels need to be replaced. It had an unpleasant closed up odor that we lit candles while there. After traveling all day to get to Florida then having to go back and forth about the door code not being sent. At the end basically it wasn't sent and no apology was offered after being made felt like I wasn't smart enough to locate the code in an email.
4.0
We were three hours late getting to the condo because the VRBO link sent us to a different side of Florida. It turned into a 9 hour drive versus 6 hours. The link need to be revised. Once we got to the room the large bathroom smelled like urine. A woman walked into our room with her bags on Sept. 8 we called the front desk and he said since we booked our room from the owner we needed to contact her. It was a good experience overall, we visited Destin often however we had a few hiccups.
10.0
We enjoyed our stay very much on the 18th floor with its beautiful views and sounds of the Gulf. Living area was cozy and comfortable. Appreciated the wifi and cable. The room is situated close to the elevator bay and to the laundry room. At night a couple of times the other guests were loud while coming and going. The king sized bed was comfortable, and our son thought his bunk was okay. The kitchen had ample dishes and pans for cooking when we didn't want to go out.
The only detraction was that when we first arrived there was an unpleasant smell coming from the garbage disposal. So after cleaning the sink out and running soapy water then putting ice in and turning on the disposal, it knocked out whatever debris was causing the issue. We ran the fan over the stove to help ventilate the area, too. Not really a huge issue, but still something that could've been better.
Linens were abundant. Ice maker in the freezer worked overtime, made great ice which we appreciated with the Aug heat wave. Really liked it there, was sad to leave. Hope to visit again. Thanks for letting us stay.

Enjoyed the condo and the Pelican Resort.

Greg and Missy’s property was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The view of the ocean was awesome. We discovered that a previous occupant had left the garbage disposal hung up. The issue was corrected very quickly once we notified the property owners. Would love to visit again!
10.0
This was our first trip to the Gulf and it was everything we were told plus more! We are obsessed with the clear water and powdery sand. The condo was perfect and the owner was super sweet and responsive. I’m already looking at availability to book again! Definitely going back soon.
8.0
This is our second time staying at this condo, and the location and views are amazing! The amenities this condo provides are great, and the reason we chose to stay here again. We felt like this condo could use some updates, and there was some small blood looking stains on the mattress cover of the pullout couch which is the only reason for 4 stars. Other than that the condo was clean and had everything we needed!

The unit was exactly as the owner listed it. It is close to all Destin activity and dining.

We had a fabulous time! The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Unfortunately the balcony was closed for construction (we knew this prior to arrival) but it is an amazing view. Access to the beach is right outside the front of the condo. One of the pools was open and heated which was great. We all had a blast and would definitely book here again!

MIL wanted a trip to the beach for her 91 birthday. The listing fit our needs so we booked...can't say enough. The unit was located right by the elevators so she did not have to walk far to get in and out. The unit was clean and being one level she was able to move around easily. We were on the 18th floor and the view was phenomenal. She was able to take in sunrise to sunset on the balcony. It was November so the price was great, the crowds were gone and it was quiet and relaxing. The unit does not have a laundry but it is about 2 doors down so that was not an issue. Highly recommend. Owners were responsive and kind. The condo staff were welcoming and helpful. Highly Highly recommend.
